Eastchester Alerts Residents about Town's 350th Anniversary

From Town of Eastchester:

To ensure that every resident in Eastchester, Tuckahoe and Bronxville receives an invitation, the steering committee of Eastchester 350th Anniversary, Inc. has mailed over 13,000 of them! This invitation comes in the form of a colorful brochure descriptive of the yearlong 2014 celebration of the town’s founding and the public programs designed to commemorate it.

Produced by the professional marketing team of Don Blauweiss and Diane Dudzinski, who volunteered their services for this effort, the rich burgundy mailing features the Royal Patent of 1666 on its cover and details the community programs inside. “As owners of the historical Coutant House and supporters of the Eastchester Historical Society, we wanted to share our enthusiasm for our rich local history and give back to our town,” said Blauweiss, principal of Don Blauweiss Advertising & Design.

Bob Riggs, co-chair of the Eastchester 350th Anniversary Celebration, emphasized that the steering committee wanted to reach everyone in town, not just those with access to digital media, although that base is covered as well. “We have launched our website at www.eastchester350.org, issued a number of press releases and now we are reaching out even further to the entire population,” added Riggs.

The steering committee of Eastchester 350 Anniversary, Inc., the organization overseeing the anniversary celebrations, also welcomes volunteer participants in all of its programming and encourages those interested to contact the group at Eastchester350@eastchester.org.

Similarly, the brochure presents opportunities for all residents to offer financial support, whether large corporate or small individual donations. Checks should be payable to Eastchester 350th Anniversary, Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and mailed to 40 Mill Rd., Eastchester, NY 10709.
